Density scaling artifacts in dosimetry calculations

Quality assurance dosimetry often requires the comparison of measured doses with those calculated by a treatment‐planning system for phantoms of density other than 1.000 g/cm(3). The presence of an artifact in the Pinnacle3 treatment‐planning system can lead to systematic errors in such cases.(a) Th...

description Quality assurance dosimetry often requires the comparison of measured doses with those calculated by a treatment‐planning system for phantoms of density other than 1.000 g/cm(3). The presence of an artifact in the Pinnacle3 treatment‐planning system can lead to systematic errors in such cases.(a) These errors are also present, although reduced in magnitude, in heterogeneous media.
